Creamy Lime Baked Taquitos

Do ya'll like Mexican fare? It is my favorite kind of food these days, and it's not just because of the delicious margaritas (they sure do help though). I can't seem to get enough of guacamole - I'm addicted. I make it, eat it, crave it...and the cycle starts all over again. Enchiladas, tacos, fajitas etc. are dinner staples around these parts.

These taquitos were a little accidental, to be honest. I intended on making enchiladas, but I ran out of ingredients so at the last minute I made a few changes and called them taquitos instead. It was a delicious accident. They are sweet, tangy and creamy on the inside, and crispy and cheesy on the outside. And unlike normal taquitos, these guys aren't fried. Much healthier. Perfect.

Creamy Lime Baked Taquitosby: Back For Seconds

3-4 large chicken breasts cooked and shredded

8 oz cream cheese

1 Tbs chili powder

salt to taste

juice of one lime

1 Tbs honey

1 cup shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 400*

Toss all ingredients minus lime juice into a large skillet. Stir often over med/low heat until the cheese is melted and creamy. Turn off heat and stir in the lime juice. Spoon mixture evenly into 10-12 soft tortillas and roll them up tightly with the seams down. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes uncovered.
